Lots of people with power shut down people who are smarter than them for being annoying, I guess is what I'm getting at.

I wonder how much of "smart" is due to his power, and how much of it is due to his intellect. I say this not because I don't believe he doesn't have an impressive intellect, but because, well, what if someone had his int

I mean, ADHD awareness has gone up a ton in the past year. I definitely agree that "isn't a video game completionist" is hardly a reason, on it's own, to question if one has ADHD, but it could very well be one part of a

The common term for it I've seen online is Body Doubling, though that might be a more specific variation.

ADHD is a very well studied medical phenomenon, which results from physical differences from the brain. When it does apply, getting the right kind of help can be life changing. And even if it is "ordinary laziness", that doesn&#

That's interesting, though. I find a lot of political and critical content on TikTok. You do have to look for it, it's not as popular, but TikTok definitely can be used for it.

So, listening to this talk, he doesn't spend any time addressing ADHD? That seems like a pretty glaring omission to me.

Often some additives may get absorbed by your gut. A smoothie vs a peach may well have different glycemic indices. Few people chew their few up to the extent that a bender will break it down. Also, how many peaches go into a smoothie, and h

Spear phishing, by design, is intended to not look like junk mail. Maybe it's designed to look like it came from an agent? Maybe like it was from someone they had hired to take care of their pets, or kids? If you're constantly b

Also, to add a further point: Because much programming is done by intuition rather than formalism is why there can be so much unintended use of a given program.

So, this is for a few reasons. Syntax is a skill floor, but it's not anywhere close to a skill ceiling. If you want rapid-fire example of the various forms a given language commonly uses, I recommend X in Y minute guides. Those show of

So, I think a far better way to think about what is called Tech debt is as Maintenance Load. Chelsea Troy has a series about thinking about Tech Debt from that perspective. I also think that the way we often talk about tech debt ignores the

I've been using Janet quite a bit for small CLI apps. The stdlib is quite enough for basic CLI apps, especially when you use PEGs. Janet's event loop also makes it very handy for issuing a lot of subprocess calls. Janet has basic

So, for that, I can easily recommend Godot/GDScript and using Asperite for Pixel art, if that's the aesthetic you're going for. Godot has a little bit of a learning curve, but easily justifies it. I've made some games

So, I like Lua as a language, but I think that Janet, 5 years down the road, will be a better fit for a "Lua+Batteries", for people that can stomach parens. It's already well on it's way there now.

There's a saying that Ruby gives "Every toddler a chainsaw" ( https://codefol.io/posts/ruby-python-and-freedom/ ). You can use it and it's metaprogramming to write some really elegant APIs. You

Yeah, that seems like an overkill to me. The balance I do like to strike is to use interfaces for any classes that interact with the outside world, and then have those faked out. That way, I can use them to provide data to smaller units, or

I'd also argue that it's helpful to understand the technology underlying your IDE, if only to be able to debug builds. (Understanding that MSBuild exists, and can be called from the command-line, for example, is a handy skill).

Honestly, where I'd draw the distinction between a database and a datastore is the ability to do multi-statement transactions. So, a filesystem? A datastore. Some support fsync on a single file, but multi-file sync isn't usually

I think I'd differentiate between a database and a data store. I'd argue that a filesystem is a data store, rather than a database.

I mean, for me, I host a lot of small utilities on my small DO droplet, as well as a few websites that I do want up all the time. One can do more than one thing on a droplet.

Where did you get that idea from? It can do text, as well as various objects.

Quite a few people, I imagine. For one, Powershell on Windows is a slower interactive experience than CMD. That, and some windows-heavy projects still have a large amount of Batch files. That being said, I'm super glad to have access t

Having used both Love2D and Pygame, Love2D is far and away more capable than Pygame used to be, because it can actually use GPU acceleration, and because Lua's features (like coroutines) make for a far more expressive way to write game
